In the store today there is a large selection of all kinds of antennas for the TV, and there is always the opportunity to buy what you need. But there are cases when an antenna is required very urgently, for example, after a thunderstorm or in the country, and you need to go to the store. Then the assist will come masterful hands, an increase in and a bit of the source material.

From beer cans

This is the most popular television antenna that craftsmen makes them. The secret of its popularity in the simplicity and availability of materials. This antenna can be made at the cottage and on a picnic. And in the apartment, where the reception on the store antenna is not always ideal. The masters say that to make such an antenna itself, it will take only 10 minutes of time, and it takes a lot more channels than inpatient.

To create a receiver from empty tin cans you need:

• antenna cable;
• a couple of tin cans from under beer or other low alcohol drinks;
• self-tapping screws - 2 pcs;
• plug;
• insulating or sticky tape;
• screwdriver;
• stick.

Instructions, how to make an antenna TV yourself:

1. To climb the insulating tape the cans to the stick, adhering to the distance from each other about 7 cm, although it is necessary to select length experimentally. If the banks have rings to open, then the cable can be secured by self-drawing to them.
2. Screw the screws in the beer container, clean up both ends of the antenna cable and fasten to screws.
3. Bind the cable to a stick with a tape, it is necessary for the durability of the receiver.
4. Instead of a wooden stick, you can use a hanger, then it will be easier to hang for configuration.
5. So that the antenna does not lose its work properties due to the influence of bad weather, banks need to close a large bottle of plastic, two or three liter, which is cut off the bottom and neck. In the center of the bottle, you must drill a hole through which to stretch the cable, after connecting it is necessary to scream with boiling water. Then plastic from high temperature will change its shape and make the hole hermetically closed.

Antenna from under empty beer cans is ready, it remains only to connect it to the TV and configure. You can improve the design and make an antenna from several sections from the beer container.

Simple television antenna

If you don't mantle yourself with a big master, but you still want to make an antenna with your own hands, you need to try to make it easier to make her simple design. To do this, you need to perform such manipulations:

1. To make the simplest antenna with your own hands, you need to connect an antenna input to TV with any metal outline, pre-isolated.
2. The contour needs to be installed on a stand of plastic or wood, and put on the TV or balcony.
3. You need to connect a TV with an antenna using a plug and cable that needs to cut the insulation of about 5 cm long.
4. Opening winding must be divided by half and bend.
5. The inner winding is also gently trimmed onto the same length and barish the cable vein.
6. In the plug, consolidate with screws with winding. If there is no place for fastening the winding in your plug, then it is necessary to cut it.
7. Another edge of the cable is fixed on the contour, before it is similar to it, make a ring from the core and consolidate.
8. Connection locations must be wrapped with insulation for the reliability of the design.

To improve the signal on the home antenna, you need to use electronic signal amplifiers.

Powerful homemade antenna

So that the antenna worked no worse than the purchase, or even better, it is necessary to improve its receiving contour.

1. Buy the signal amplifier, which connects directly to the antenna, be sure to wind the cable at both ends of the tape so that there is no interference in the signal.
2. To receive was high-quality, you need to make the screen - this is a metal grid that is isolated from the TV and put behind the receiver. You can use a metal mesh from the fence as the screen.
3. The reception area needs to be increased, for this, you can attach metal bars to the screen, paying attention to the whole design to be from one metal in order to do not occur with time. You need to connect the boards with the screen symmetrically so that the maximum large size is.
4. In the center of the design you need to position another amplifier, soldering contacts to the receiver.
5. This type of antenna in the house is not installed, usually they are put on the roof, turning towards the closest TV.

Antenna with minimum materials

There are two completely elementary methods how to make an antenna for a TV at home:

1. You need the easiest wire, but you do not need to take from aluminum, as it is subject to very fast oxidation. For these purposes, the wire from copper or brass is remarkably suitable. Clean the wire from two ends of the insulating material, one end is attached to the battery or pipe, and insert the opposite to the television connector. You will notice that the signal immediately appeared, as the pipe, passing through most of the house and leaving up, is an amplifier of the desired frequencies. In this way, you can "catch" about five channels.
2. The second option will be available only to people who have a balcony. In this case, you need to take the same wire, only longer, so that it connects the TV and the balcony zone. Clean the wire on both sides, and one end to connect to the TV in the nest cable, and the second to climb to stretched strings to which linen hangs. This method will not only help add the number of channels, but also makes the image quality an order of magnitude higher.

Satellite antenna

With your own hands, you can make not only simple antennas for the TV, but even satellite. This is especially true for those who live far from large cities, and buy a parabolic receiver in the store cannot. Well, if the televisa is located at a distance of 35 km from the building so that the signal is strong enough. And if there is a high structure next to, then the task will be even easier.

Necessary materials:

• unnecessary umbrella;
• foil;
• antenna cable, preferably from copper;
• beer empty bank;
• signal amplifier with power supply.

Proceedings:

1. Make an antenna lattice measurement: Measure the length of the length between the knitting needles, take into account the height of the desired segment and the angle under which the needles are attached.
2. To transfer all the calculations on the foil and cut the parts so that they come to the triangular umbrella sector.
3. Send parts from foil by kapron threads to umbrella tissue, as a result, its entire inner part should be covered with foil.
4. In the focus of the antenna grid, you need to install a signal receiver. Amplifier can be both bought in the store and make it possible. It is done in this way: to remove 4 cm of the outer winding from the cable, it is to fake a screen that protects against interference and leave the living, it will transmit the signal.
5. Cut oval from the beer bank, in the center oval to make a hole, to buy in it the custody and solder contact.
6. Place the connection is plasticine, so it will not rust in this place and oxidize.
7. To the umbrella handle, attach the receiver using a tape, cables to climb from 10 cm input, so you can adjust the design. It is very important to make that the receiver does not touch the metal on the handle of the umbrella, otherwise interference may appear. In the place of contact you need to stick plasticine or other insulation material.
8. The power supply must be placed next to the TV, because the power of the amplifier occurs through the cable.
9. Secure the antenna by sending it to the television tower and set up the channels, turning it into different directions.
